That's tempting. I'm not sure about the EVF, though, and yesterday I was out
riding and took a couple of shots with Esteemed Wife's Coolpix, and jus flat
couldn't see what I was doing on the LCD. Too much light. Fortunately, the
camera knew what I was trying to do and did an acceptable job for the shot I
was trying to take.
The V1 bears more looking into.
